  2. Density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density

    In contrast, the density of gases is strongly affected by pressure. The density of an ideal gas is =, where M is the molar mass, P is the pressure, R is the universal gas constant, and T is the absolute temperature. This means that the density of an ideal gas can be doubled by doubling the pressure, or by halving the absolute temperature.

  3. Relative density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_density

    Relative density with respect to air can be obtained by =, where is the molar mass and the approximately equal sign is used because equality pertains only if 1 mol of the gas and 1 mol of air occupy the same volume at a given temperature and pressure, i.e., they are both ideal gases. Ideal behaviour is usually only seen at very low pressure.

  4. Vapour density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapour_density

    Vapour density is the density of a vapour in relation to that of hydrogen. It may be defined as mass of a certain volume of a substance divided by mass of same volume of hydrogen. vapour density = mass of n molecules of gas / mass of n molecules of hydrogen gas . vapour density = molar mass of gas / molar mass of H 2

  5. Specific volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_volume

    Specific volume is inversely proportional to density. If the density of a substance doubles, its specific volume, as expressed in the same base units, is cut in half. If the density drops to 1/10 its former value, the specific volume, as expressed in the same base units, increases by a factor of 10.

  6. Number density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_density

    Using the number density of an ideal gas at 0 °C and 1 atm as a yardstick: n 0 = 1 amg = 2.686 7774 × 10 25 m −3 is often introduced as a unit of number density, for any substances at any conditions (not necessarily limited to an ideal gas at 0 °C and 1 atm). [3]

  7. Gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas

    Since gas molecules can move freely within a container, their mass is normally characterized by density. Density is the amount of mass per unit volume of a substance, or the inverse of specific volume. For gases, the density can vary over a wide range because the particles are free to move closer together when constrained by pressure or volume.

  8. Wobbe index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wobbe_index

    EU directives on gas quality use 15 °C in accordance with ISO 13443 and ISO 6976. , is the density of air at standard conditions, is the molar mass of the gas and is the molar mass of air which is about 28.96 kg/kmol. . The Wobbe index is used to compare the combustion energy output of different composition fuel gases in an appliance (fire ...

  9. Loschmidt constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loschmidt_constant

    The Loschmidt constant or Loschmidt's number (symbol: n 0) is the number of particles (atoms or molecules) of an ideal gas per volume (the number density), and usually quoted at standard temperature and pressure. The 2018 CODATA recommended value [1] is 2.686 780 111... × 10 25 m −3 at 0 °C and 1 atm.
